Posted by Elkeeper on Mon Jul 25 17:41:04 2016, in response to Re: williamsburg bridge terminal: New Trolley Stop on Bridge Plaza, posted by ntrainride on Mon Jul 25 16:32:26 2016. I posted about the rush hour service on the Broadway Ferry spur before. Two 3-car gates (probably 1000 series like the ones that ran on the Bway-Bklyn)were inadequate and the side platforms at Marcy Ave were narrow. The problem in 1913 was that the BRT had to end regular ferry shuttle service because the Broadway el was third tracked to just west of Marcy's platforms. The center pocket track, over Keap Street had to be removed for express service. The Dual Contracts made no provision for a modified Marcy Ave station, similar to Myrtle Ave or Eastern Pkwy (yea- B'way Jct!). |
